Safeguarding
Birralee is dedicated to creating a safe and nurturing environment for the entire school community. We adhere to the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child, relevant Norwegian laws, and recommendations from the International Curriculum Association.
Safeguarding is a core element of our school's focus on Wellbeing and Belonging. It is integrated into every facet of school life, including the curriculum, facilities, professional development, parent education programs, and recruitment practices.
The School Leadership and Pastoral Counselors collaborate with parents, students, and teachers to promote student safety and wellbeing.
Our Safeguarding Team
If you have any concerns about a child or young person in our school, you must share this information immediately with our Pastoral Coordinator or the School Principal.
Report a concern to the Child Welfare Services
If you, as a private persion, are concerned about a child, you should submit a report of concern to child welfare services here. This form is for non-professionals submitting a report of concern to child welfare services.
If you have concerns about a child’s care situation, you should report your concern to child welfare services. You do not have to be certain that something is wrong. Most children and families who get help from child welfare services, get this help at home. Care orders are only issued in the most severe cases.
It is the responsibility of child welfare services to determine whether the child and their family need help. Your responsibility is to make sure that child welfare services hear about children and youths who may be having problems.
If you are not sure if submitting a report is the right thing to do and you need some advice, you can call the local child welfare service to anonymously discuss your concerns.
